Miss the Halo 4 Pre-Match Lobby?

I honestly miss seeing every other Spartan in the Lobby before a match starts, it seems ridiculous to me how in Halo 5, with all the stances available and armors, 343i chose not to display each player’s Spartan in the lobby. Some people say it’s because they don’t want people to quit a game after seeing the level of other player’s, but why isn’t an option to just display the GT and Spartan and that’s it?

I miss being able to get into a lobby

I will always prefer Reach’s UI, we could tell who was with who in the lobby, what their rank was, file browse, file search, check up on their stats, little stuff that ultimately make it a better experience. not to mention the postgame stats

Indeed, Reach’s UI was the best… even the concept art for Halo 5’s UI or the Beta’s UI was hundreads of times better thatn what we have now

I also third the notion that Reach’s UI was the best. It was simple, intuitive and had plenty of information. That gorgeous UI makes Halo 5’s appear to be from the stone age.

People already dodge players if they see the same emblems again in there next lobby. It’s gonna be even worse if you can see gamertags. I switch my emblem just to screw with people sometimes haha

Exactly this. The last thing this game needs is giving a community full of quitters even more opportunities to quit.

I agree with 343 in that they don’t want people discouraged. However, the player’s images should at least be displayed, along with the ability to individually mute the kids blasting dumb music. This would also give a lot more purpose to Stances. Everyone is happy then.

Pftt…if they can’t handle the fire then pull your hand from the oven. I knew the community was a bit hard on the spartan companies and farming but this is ridiculous. Have spartans really lost their backbone, their edge.

I don’t miss anything from Halo 4, but would prefer the Halo 3 or Reach styled UI. In the end it’s not that big of a deal. I’m there to play, not compare -Yoinks!- and we can see all of that after the game.

Discouraged? I want to know if I’m going to go up against low-onyx or high diamond, or if I’ll have low platinum’s in my game. If the ranking system worked, no one would feel discouraged. I don’t remember anyone quitting because they saw peoples ranks during the beta.
